History Recap / BreakingBadS2E7NegroYAzul

* DareToBeBadass: Walt gives another to Jesse telling him to use the incident from the [[Recap/BreakingBadS2E6Peekaboo previous episode]] to incite Jesse to expand their business. Doubles as a {{Crowning Moment of Funny}}.

* MeaningfulBackgroundEvent: When Jesse offers to let Jane over to see his flat-screen TV (the first step towards them having a relationship), church bells are heard in the background.

Since Jesse is too distraught over Spooge's death, Walt goes out to conduct business with Badger, Skinny Pete, and Combo as "Heisenberg". From them, he learns that business is going smoother than usual, due to everyone believing Jesse killed Spooge: everyone was fearful of the wrath of Heisenberg. Walt plays along with the rumor, and when he returns to Jesse, tells him to roll with it, too: he explains that Jesse is a "blowfish" who looks intimidating when threatening, and Jesse gets on board with the idea of using his newfound street cred to expand their territory.

While Jesse and Jane bond, Hank meets with his colleagues on the Mexican border as they conduct a stakeout. He sees something in the distance: it appears to be Tortuga. When the team investigates, they discover that it's actually Tortuga's severed head attached to the back of a tortoise (Tortuga's Spanish namesake) with "HOLA DEA" painted on its shell. Hank begins to feel ill as his colleagues laugh about the poetic justice that had been wrought on Tortuga, but the laughter comes to an end with bombs attached to the tortoise go off, killing one DEA agent and maiming three others.

!This episode provides examples of:

* LyricalDissonance: The band in the ColdOpen sings cheerily "Negro y Azul" (Black and Blue) a ''narcocorrido'' about "Heisenberg" becoming infamous for his pure quality drug and insulting the cartel bosses by cornering the meth market in the southwest, and that there will be payback in the form of death. Which is pretty par for the course regarding this [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcocorrido music genre]].

Skyler seeks new employment. Walt and Jesse seek to expand their business.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: When Hank notices the figurine of Jesus Malverde (patron saint of drug dealers) on Vanco's desk, he comments "Going after neo-Nazis, you don't wear swastikas, right?" [[spoiler:He will meet his death in "Ozymandias" at the hands of Jack Welker, a neo-Nazi.]]
